Coaching Points:

• DENY - DELAY - DIRECT - DEFEND: Get out to the ball, slow down, delay them, show away from goal towards touchline, Cut off overload side and force into a 1v1, make contact, be aggressive, use whole body, arms are key MUST DELAY!!!
• PRESSING TRIGGERS: We must start to recognise these, head down, back to goal, bad touch, poor pass, lofted ball etc. Particularly important in overload is area of pitch. If we are close to goal and we are delaying, there comes a point we just need to go to the ball and shut down.
• CUT OFF OPTIONS: Position yourself so you can try to cut off second player and make into 1v1 by killing the space in between. Body position should show away from the overload. 
• BREACHES: When we are breached, we must recover instantly, shortest route to goal. KILL SPACE. Don't panic, relax.
• RECOVERY RUNS: Players out the game, when we identify there's an overload, we must sprint to get back to help our teammate who should be delaying and kill any overload opportunities by getting back into shape.
